linux VMware w W98 SE in vm

[Chris Aitken]

Has anyone successfully installed VMware and loaded Windows 98 SE as
guest OS in a vm?

I managed to install VMware 4.0.5. Build 6030. But I'm having trouble
installing W98 SE into a vm. I tried a different CD - same problem.
Tried W95 OSR 2 - another problem. Trying to load W98 SE I get an
internal monitor error. Trying to install W96 OSR 2, I get that famous
error that informs theat Winfdows needs at least 7 MB to install : )

Also, interestingly enough the installation seems to want the Windows 98

Startup floppy, even though the CD is bootable - that's a head
scratcher.

I have emailed VMware support, but I'm chomping at the bit to use this -

and they may take three days to get back to me to tell me that
Evaluation users aren't really supported - I don't know.

I have also posted the question to the VMware Community Forum.

Any ideas I can chase tonight?
